Mizuno M.CRAFT OMOI Putters Blend Heavyweight Stability with Precise Looks and Feel

HILLSBORO, MO – Mizuno, the Japanese equipment manufacturer long renowned for its beautiful, industry-leading forged irons and technically advanced golf clubs, introduces three new M.CRAFT OMOI putters featuring a heavier head for greater stability.

 Forged from premium 1025 carbon steel and CNC milled, using all the successful fundamentals of the original M-Craft models, the OMOI putters feature a heavier head weight to increase MOI for improved stability.

Mizuno has achieved greater stability in the OMOI by taking a view of the entire club – balancing out the increased head weight with a lighter grip and shaft to shift the club’s CG and help control face rotation through the putting stroke.

There are three traditional OMOI head styles: OMOI 01 is a Slant Neck Blade (60-degrees of toe hang, ¾ shaft offset). OMOI 02 is a Plumber’s Neck Blade (40-degree of toe hang, full shaft offset). OMOI 03 is a Full Mallet (Face Balanced, full shaft offset).

At a weighty 370 grams (#1, #2) and 383 grams (#3), OMOI putters offer increased MOI for added stability.

Every putter also comes with an additional weight kit – including a pair of 3g and 13g weights that are interchangeable with the 8g fitted as standard.

M.CRAFT OMOI putters are available in three stunning finishes – New Double Nickel, bold Blue ION or intense Black ION. There’s also a Black Out option that comes with KBS Tour Black Ion-plated shaft, Lamkin OMOI Sink Fit Pistol grip and upgraded, blacked-out M.CRAFT headcover.

Mizuno has strived to “create the best products for consumers” for 116 years, and the M.CRAFT OMOI putter line adheres firmly to that original spirit and desire, while offering the best performance benefits that modern technology can bring. #ReachBeyond

Two-Time Major Champion Collin Morikawa Signs Multi-Year Extension With TaylorMade Golf Company

CARLSBAD, CA – TaylorMade Golf Company has a history of pairing industry-leading product innovation and technological advancements with the best and most magnetic players in the game. Today, TaylorMade announces the multi-year contract extension of World No. 2 Collin Morikawa, a move that reaffirms its commitment to fielding the strongest Tour staff in professional golf and putting the highest performing equipment in the hands of the world’s best athletes on the sport’s biggest stages.

Since making his Team TaylorMade debut in 2019, the 25-year-old Morikawa has rapidly become one of the biggest names in the sport. In just three seasons as a professional, he has won six tournaments worldwide, including two major championships, while playing TaylorMade equipment.

“TaylorMade has been with me my entire professional career, and I am excited to continue to be a part of Team TaylorMade for many years to come. Between the unrivaled equipment and the continued dedication of the team out on Tour, TaylorMade has set a standard as the best golf equipment company in the world.”

Morikawa is coming off a historic 2021 season where he claimed his second major title in his Open Championship debut at Royal St. Georges. After working with TaylorMade tour reps to perfect turf interaction on the famed links course, Morikawa used a tactical combo of his trusty P·Series irons with a P·770 4-iron, P·7MC 5-9 irons and a P·730 pitching wedge on his way to raising the Claret Jug.

In 2021, he also won the WGC Workday Championship at The Concession, the DP World Tour Championship, the Race to Dubai and helped the U.S. Team win the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. All of that on the heels of his thrilling 2020 PGA Championship victory at TPC Harding Park, highlighted by his memorable drive at the par-4 16th with his TP5 golf ball, that led to an eagle which sealed his first major championship.
